The test checks that 1-byte is allocated when malloc(0) is called, by dereferencing the pointer.
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/155943 changed ASan to consider the dereference to be a heap buffer overflow. This patch changes the test to check the allocated size is still 1-byte, but not dereference the pointer.

This aims to fix the breakage reported in https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/155943#issuecomment-3239543505
